Fully Customized to Your Goals, Your Workflow, Your People

What sets Pariah Burke Training & Consulting apart is the fact that every engage­ment is fully cus­tomized to you, to your spe­cific goals for the engage­ment, to your work­flow and projects, and to your per­son­nel and their learn­ing style. We sim­ply do not offer canned train­ing, which, unfor­tu­nately, is how the rest of the indus­try operates.

We begin every train­ing class or con­sul­ta­tion with the fol­low­ing questions:

What is your workflow?

What projects do you pro­duce or do you want to produce?

What areas of your work­flow do you find frus­trat­ing, inef­fi­cient, or tedious?

In addi­tion to meet­ing the goals you’ve revealed by your other answers, what indi­ca­tors will mark this train­ing as a suc­cess for you?

Every minute you and your team are in class is invested time that man­agers and the indi­vid­ual stu­dents must find valu­able, for which all involved must see a return on that invest­ment. Our instruc­tors take that notion to heart by cus­tomiz­ing every minute of edu­ca­tion directly to your goals, your work and work­flow, and to the indi­vid­ual con­cerns and learn­ing styles of each student.

Fun, Engaging, Focused

We make edu­ca­tion fun, but we don’t play games with the train­ing. You have a busi­ness to run, and we take that very seri­ously. We deliver edu­ca­tion and con­sult­ing ser­vices that are focused on your bot­tom line, and we do it in a fun, engag­ing man­ner. Students have a good time in our classes, learn­ing in a fun, par­tic­i­pa­tive envi­ron­ment that max­i­mizes inter­est and infor­ma­tion retention.

We Do What No Others Can

No other cre­ative soft­ware train­ing com­pany can offer the con­sis­tent qual­ity of instruc­tor tal­ent that we do.

No other cre­ative soft­ware train­ing com­pany can even approach the depth of edu­ca­tion cus­tomiza­tion we do.

No other train­ing com­pany can meet your needs like we can. (Although for some rea­son those other train­ing com­pa­nies charge more than we do. We can’t quite fig­ure that one out. If you can, we’d love to hear about it.)

Our Teaching Method Is Better

Bold claim, yes, but it’s true. Our numer­ous clients attest to it, and many of them were ini­tially “fix-it jobs,” where our instruc­tors were brought in after other tra­di­tional method train­ing com­pa­nies failed to meet the clients’ real world work­flow needs.

Why is our method better?

Simple: We tai­lor all train­ing directly for the real world work­flows, goals, and learn­ing styles the stu­dents—you and team of professionals.

How do we do it?

Our train­ing is designed to best suit the audi­ence—pro­fes­sion­als with jobs to do. Professional learn­ers, peo­ple who have work to do, need edu­ca­tors with a high level of knowl­edge and expe­ri­ence in the soft­ware and in pro­fes­sional uses of that soft­ware, and edu­ca­tors intel­li­gent and agile enough to cus­tomize the train­ing instantly to the exact goals and work­flow of the stu­dents. Our instruc­tors adapt—in the moment, while teach­ing—to the needs of the students.

We Keep Our Promises

We keep our promises—to our clients and to our instruc­tors. Unlike some of our com­peti­tors, we won’t tar­nish our ster­ling rep­u­ta­tion by mis­treat­ing or mak­ing mis­rep­re­sen­ta­tions to instruc­tors who work for us. Because we treat our instruc­tors well, we have happy instruc­tors. Happy instruc­tors work harder to make sure every client’s goals are exceeded.

The Best Instructors and Consultants in the Business

Yes, another bold claim—backed up by the fact that the instruc­tors and work­flow con­sul­tants we employ are inter­na­tion­ally rec­og­nized experts in their fields. Our instruc­tors share our phi­los­o­phy that the best instruc­tion comes from the most expe­ri­enced experts with the high­est rep­u­ta­tions the cre­ative fields. The resume of Pariah Burke, the com­pany founder, exem­pli­fies this philosophy.

If you think Pariah’s qual­i­fi­ca­tions are impres­sive, you should know that, when hir­ing other instruc­tors and assem­bling teams of con­sul­tants for larger engage­ments, Pariah brings in the gurus he admires, the biggest indus­try names in the world.
